Lost a white Prodigy D3 last Saturday on Hole # 11. It was a practice toss off the tee, ended up near the footpath by the right-side basket location (the basket's in the other location right now). Totally forgot to pick it up after my approach shot. :/

Just back from round at Woodmansee and it is in need or some repair and cleanup. Most of tee signs need replacement and new acrylic cover plates. Also some have the top wood plates being loosened and ready to be taken now the top covers are gone. Course in general could use cleanup for the spring. Any plans in place by CCDG or will this need to be taken on by individuals effort again. Thank you and this should be handled as soon as possible before further damage done to course.

A big thank you for the repair work on basket #8. From what I can put together that thanks goes out to Barry B for his efforts. Stepping up again Barry puts another gold star next to your name in my book.

Woodmansee work day was a big success due to the friends of trees, ivy removal coalition, and other assorted youth groups. Sorry to say no disc golfers besides myself made it out. We owe these groups a big thanks. Some of many pictures taken. Over 1000+ tree seedlings, assorted plants, and such planted today, lets treat them nice and let them grow.http://www.discgolfscene.com/profile/17065/pictures/album_13334

Jim Costello is to be given an award for the finding and return of not one, but two of my discs a month apart. Yes I should keep better track of my discs, but it's a great community of people who can return discs that aren't theirs. Keep up the good work to all those returning discs to their rightful owners!

The basket has come completely unattached at the welds that hold it to the pole. Other golfers have propped it up with sticks but it should be taken care of as soon as possible. even just taking the practice basket over there for the interim time would be much appreciated.

Letter received from friends of trees about work at Woodmansee
Hi Steve,
I'm sorry it's taken me a few days to chime in here. The area we will be planting in does intersect the course near the northernmost footbridge in the park (though I'm not sure of the hole number/s 5/14? 6/15?). However, the work will not permanently affect any of the baskets or tees. That said, we will want to "close" these holes during the event. I will be posting signs next week to indic ...

Letter received from friends of trees about work at Woodmansee

Hi Steve,
I'm sorry it's taken me a few days to chime in here. The area we will be planting in does intersect the course near the northernmost footbridge in the park (though I'm not sure of the hole number/s 5/14? 6/15?). However, the work will not permanently affect any of the baskets or tees. That said, we will want to "close" these holes during the event. I will be posting signs next week to indicate as much, but if you have an online forum that might reach potential course users, it would be great for you to post something there. Thanks much for the offer to help out.

Also, I'm not sure if you are aware, but we will be partnering with the No Ivy Coalition in the park that day. They will be coordinating ivy removal I believe in the area just west of the north bridge, but I haven't gotten a confirmation on their targeted area/s just yet. Hopefully, this work will reduce the number of discs that get lost (and will likely turn up a few that have gone missing), and will help protect the ancient oaks from threats from this tenacious weed.

However, speaking of changes to the course, I do have a question for you. Basically, I'm wondering how you would feel (or think other course users would feel) about the young cherry tree next to the giant oak in the pictures below being removed. This is the basket for hole 2/11.

(I will try to get her pictures posted shortly)

​
​I think this would be the right course of action, foremost, for the sake of the old oak, and secondly, for the sake of removing a nuisance species, though we would like to not negatively impact the course. We have removed the other cherries that were in the natural area next to the creek as this is a widespread nuisance tree--a non-native tree that often out-competes native trees for space and other resources (though we left 3-4 very large specimens as per the Parks department's request). I would have had the guys cut this one as well, but since it is part of the course, I wanted to check in with course users or the greenskeeper first. Are you the greenskeeper for this course? I have also recently contacted Barry Bolliver of Capitol City Disc Golf (who we've worked with at Cascades Gateway Park), but I haven't heard back from him yet. Please let me know how you think this alteration might go over. Thanks again for your offer to help at the planting and for your advice in this tree removal matter. And no need to worry about anything happening on this anytime soon. This just seemed a good time to ask the question.
Sincerely,
Kris

Let me know what all think, I can live with it since for the betterment in the long run. Hope to see some folks to help out with this project. Thank you
Steve

Friends of Trees is partnering with the City of Salem to revitalize the stream banks along Pringle Creek as it winds through this beautifully wooded park. We will be adding additional Oregon white oaks and native shrubs to the areas recently won back from a Himalayan blackberry infestation. The No Ivy Coalition will be simultaneously leading ivy removal activities in the old oak grove adjacent to the planting area. Bring your disc golf discs for after the planting, as there is a challenging course that also runs through the park!

Please arrive around 8:45am to be registered and assigned to a crew. The event will start promptly at 9:00am. We provide breakfast snacks and hot chocolate/coffeu200be, as well as gloves, tools and guidance. Please come dressed for the weather and wearing sturdy shoes and get ready to have fun!

i know discs sometimes travel. ive lost two cranks one was lime green esp with just the normal discraft stamp. the other was a pink esp crank that had huk for children stamp. maybe its the one you found.

Damn! That would be hi-larious! I'm trying to remember, because it was quite a while ago that I lost it. And I'd only had it for a couple weeks then. Pretty sure it's got blue stamping, metallic-style.

Haven't been out there since before the series of stormy weather in the last month or so. Woods took some hits. Tree down on 4 at top of the hill, 2 branches down on 9, and other small limbs down around the park. Plus they are doing a restoration along the creek. Needless to say Woods looks different right now.

i was wondering if the tree <cherrie tree> on 4 might survive if someone cut it like a few feet up from the exsposed root ball then dug out around the root ball and stood it up then reburied the root ball. think it will survive?

Yo!....I lost my yellow star roadrunner on the last temp hole playing back to parking lot last night in the dark....would love to get some help from some of you locals now that its daylight....thanks in advance!

So is there no one from CCDG willing to answer up to simple question being asked for the good of us all? What is, if there is one, the plan for repair and upkeep of which local courses, regarding fixing needed items, finishing what needs to be finished, and getting courses in shape for this winter coming fast? I do not understand why some much problem on this topic when it concerns all of us that play the sport. Time to work together and grow the group and get things done, not work againest each other as it seems to be now. Thank you.

I will not be able to attend Tuesday 2's tonight but would like someone to confirm if the tent camp is still set up behind hole 1 long position just across the creek and hole 2 basket area by creek. Also how is course looking since I quit my work there for time being. Any work done at all yet? Thank you and have a good evening all.

As the days get shorter and fall and winter approches, I am putting out a call to CCDG and if they have any plans in place for the Woodmansee course as far as repairs and getting ready for winter weather. They should already be aware of needed items and general disc public should be aware if they have plans in place for the course. If not then I guess I will need to take charge again and see what can be done at this time. If so then will be happy for any and all assistance. Thank you and see what happens.
And yes I have tried to communicate with them with out much response.

I guess since no response that means that things are not being taken care of the way they should.by the group that should handling things. I was specifically asked for my drawing files early this year which I gave to the club guessing it meant they would take care of signage and such. Still waiting for a response so I know what to do next about this mess. Would be nice to get get courses ready for winter weather and bark dust/wood chips would go a long ways towards this. Thank you, Steve
